Although Bai Shan never thought of inviting staff, Zhou Man decided to introduce him because Cui Langjun was nice to speak.
As a local official, it is also a good thing to communicate with local scribes.
So Zhou Man invited them to have dinner together in the evening.
They readily agreed, and introduced themselves to Zhou Man by the way, "I'm in Pangxu, Qingzhou."
"In Liuyang, Lower Qingzhou."
"Cui Yuan in Lower Qingzhou."
"Zhao Rui in Lower Qingzhou."
Zhou Man was curious, "Are you still studying?"
The four said together: "Limited knowledge and old age, I am really embarrassed to study with elementary school students in school, so now I study in a hut outside Qingzhou City."
Zhou Man could not agree with their point of view, "It is because of limited knowledge that you should need guidance from your husband. How can you not go to school because of embarrassment? Confucius can still be a teacher with children. You are just doing things with children now." Just classmates."
Cui Yuan: "... not everyone can have the heart of an adult, the four of us are far behind."
Pang Xu and the three were very uncomfortable with Cui Yuan's change. If the real person hadn't been in front of them all the time, they would have suspected that the person had been replaced.
Zhou Man thought about it, but he really can't ask others with his own state of mind, because everyone is different.
"Forget it, you just sit and wait for a while. After the trial is over, I'll take you back to the county office to meet County Magistrate Bai."
Cui Yuan and the others smiled, expressing that they were not in a hurry at all.
The four of them relaxed a little, and only after this relaxation did they realize that there were two long tables behind Zhou Man, with chairs placed one at the front and one at the back. Hanging a gourd.
Cui Yuan: "This is?"
"Free clinic," Zhou Man said, "Give way to the four of you, we are going to receive patients."
The four of them looked back, only to realize that there were two women holding two children behind them, who wanted to step forward but dared not, so they immediately stepped aside.
Zhou Man quickly waved to them and asked, "Is anyone feeling unwell?"
A woman and the other looked at each other, and still held the child's hand forward, and smiled embarrassedly at Zhou Man, "Master Zhou, why did you move the medical office here? Is this the same street as you used to?" Is it the same as the free clinic in Chuanxiang?”
Zhou Man nodded and asked, "Do you want to see it?"
The woman immediately pulled her son to her and said, "I don't want to see it, I, I want to show it to my son."
She said: "I don't know what's wrong with this child recently. He always cries, makes noises, and likes to eat his hands. Sometimes he twitches when he sleeps at night. Maybe he was frightened..."
The woman on the side immediately said: "Our mother-in-law has already paid homage to the land grandfather, but the child is still not well. The old people said that it is better to pay homage to the Town God's Temple."
So the two wanted to ask, when will the Yamen remove the prisoner from the Temple of the City God, so that they can go in and worship.
Zhou Man: "... When did the child start to panic and cry?"
The two recalled it for a while, and said uncertainly: "It seems to be five days ago."
They hesitated for a while and then said: "My mother-in-law said that because the county magistrate has recently arrested too many criminals and brought them back to the city, the fierceness in the city is too strong, and the children are easily linked to the nightmares of those criminals when they sleep at night, so they are frightened."
Therefore, both the antecedent and the consequence seem to have something to do with Bai Shan's arrest.
Zhou Man was speechless for a while, checked the child and asked him some small questions, then told them: "It's frightened, but not just frightened."
"In this way, I will give him two injections in a while, and then I will prescribe him a medicine. You can take it for him before going to bed, and touch his back more at night when you sleep," Zhou Man said: "You can usually eat more eggs and soy products. , Beans, tofu, etc. can be eaten.”
When the woman next to him heard this, she immediately pushed her son to Zhou Man, "Master Zhou, look at my son, is he also frightened?"
Zhou Man looked down, and the little boy also raised his head to look at her. His eyes were round and energetic, and his face was ruddy.
Zhou Man just pinched his fleshy cheek, no wonder so many people liked to pinch her when she was a child.
She asked the little boy, "Did you cry in bed at night?"
Little boy: "I didn't cry, I'm not a cousin, I'm just a crying little boy."
Zhou Man nodded and withdrew his hand, and said to the woman: "The child is growing up. If he wants to grow taller and have a better health, he can eat more beans and eggs on weekdays."
When the woman heard this sentence, she was satisfied, and even if her son had no medicine, she would not ask for it anymore.
Zhou Man asked the child to sit on the chair, and then took out the needle, and the other child cried with his mouth puckered.
Zhou Man took a look, put the needle back into the needle bag, put the needle bag aside, turned the direction of the chair, opened his skirt, and gently pressed the acupuncture points on the back of his neck and back with his fingers, and said warmly: "Forget it, just don't stab you, I'll give you a press."
The child was sobbing, and found that Zhou Man really didn't prick him, but pressed his fingers on his back and neck. Although it hurt sometimes, it wasn't very painful, so he slowly stopped crying.
Zhou Man pressed for a while, rubbed his thumb to find the acupuncture point to be pierced, pressed the thumb of his left hand, and quickly took out a needle from the needle bag with his right hand and pierced it...
The woman was about to speak, but saw that her son just moved his little buttocks, tilted his head slightly, and felt her hand stroke down his back, and he fell silent again, completely unaware that he had been needled .
The woman saw that such a long needle pierced into her son's body, leaving only the upper part, she was amazed for a moment, Cui Yuan and the others also widened their eyes.
Wen Tiandong stood aside to observe and study carefully.
Zhou Man just got three needles, and after all the needles were inserted, he made the little boy sit still, took his hand and began to massage the acupuncture points.
When Zhou Man pulled out the needle, he didn't feel much. The child only felt that there were some strange spots on the back of the neck, but he was still young and didn't know the sinister heart, so he didn't know what happened to him.
Wen Tiandong took the medicine for him according to the prescription, gave it to the other mother and said, "If there are poor people around you who get sick, let them come to the medical office."
Zhou Man added: "If there is any discomfort in the body, you can also come to the medical office for consultation. It is useless to pray to God and Buddha for many diseases."
The two women are not happy, how could the gods and Buddha be useless
Man Bao said: "Minor illness and pain, gods and Buddhas are very busy, how can we take care of them? There are so many people praying to gods and worshiping Buddhas in the world, is your family a person with great merit?"
The two were taken aback and shook their heads.
Zhou Man said: "Since you are not a person with great merit, how can you guarantee that the gods and Buddhas will bless you first? So it is better to prepare with both hands. If the gods and Buddhas do not work, you should ask others first."
Cui Yuan and the others looked at Zhou Man in surprise, but the two women felt that what Zhou Man said was right, so they nodded repeatedly to show that they understood.
